San Jose Sharks Face Tough Decision With Timo Meier's Future

It's not a secret that the San Jose Sharks are in a major cap crunch with no way out in the near future.They already have $11.5 million tied up with Erik Karlsson, $7 million with Marc-Edouard Vlasic, and just over $16 million between Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl.In total, that's $34.5 million tied up for at least the next four years.
